I saw this the first day it hit OnDemand, and paid the full ten bucks. Feeling reluctant at first, I'm glad now because I would have missed out on such a visceral, yet fun experience. This film is seriously better than Machete, Grindhouse, and Drive Angry 3D combined, and I loved all those movies. The color platte was awesome, the gore was some of the best I've seen, and Hauer was AWESOME. Might buy.

For those who don't know, this film is currently available on various OnDemand services (you can even watch it via amazon), so if you want to check it out. I will note that I think pretty much anywhere, it's $9.99 for a 48-hour rental.

I thought it was quite good. I didn't like it as much as Planet Terror or Machete, but I think I landed on a solid B+. One of the main reasons I didn't like it as much was the insanely over-saturated colors. I think it's meant to kind of look like those old school Technicolor films; when they tended to go way overboard on the colors; but that throws it out of the 1980s exploitation feel the rest of the movie has. Will be picking up the BD regardless.
